While I can appreciate your patriotism, I think that this event will have little effect on terrorism. We will still be targeted by these fools as long as they think we're butting in where we don't belong.

Quite frankly, the only way to stop them is to let them kill eachother off. We need to stop worrying about everyone else on the planet, and take care of our own:

1) Stop the dependency on ANY foreign oil or fuel or processing function. We have fuel here in the US, and we need to develop bio fuel and solar alternatives. We need to become 100% SELF SUFFICIENT for our energy needs by creating AMERICAN jobs HERE in the USA, and using AMERICAN talent and skills to make us truly independent of ANY foreign fuel. This may mean that gas prices go up high for a while, but it will be a great incentive for everyone in the US to find answers sooner than later.

2) Once we become self-sufficient, let all of OPEC choke on their oil. We've kicked their habit, and there'll be no demand any more. No need to start a war over oil rights. No need to send our children to fight a country just for raw materials. No more need to get involved in their politics or religion. Let them kill eachother off - we'll have no part of it.

3) As for "protecting democracy" in the world - sorry to tell you this, but not every country wants to be saved. Think of how well the Spanish Inquisition went. Unless a country EXPLICITLY ASKS for help, and is willing to stand beside us as we fight - we don't need to get involved.

4) We'll take in foreigners, as we should - but they need to go through the naturalization process and become American citizens before they get any rights. Just like my grandparents.

5) Unless you are convicted of a violent crime, or a crime against a child, you should be able to own guns, and get free training classes on proper use, care and storage. We require licenses and training for cars, and everyone can drive a car(unless they have DWIs) - should be the same for guns. AND...we should ALL be able to carry them unconcealed. Even out the playing field.

6) We should lower taxes (or remove them completely) from American made goods, and increase taxes and tariffs on imports - keep American money and jobs in America

7) Repeal the Income Tax and dismantle the IRS. That would save BILLIONS of dollars a year, and let people spend money the way they want to. The IRS was created in 1931 to handle the flow of money that was ill-gained by the Patriot Tax Act . The US Constitution does NOT give the Federal government the right to tax income. From 1776 to 1928 THERE WAS NO INCOME TAX. The IRS is NOT part of the government - it is an entity unto itself that carries a heavy club and extorts money from us before we can even spend it. In 2005, the IRS charged the US government $10 BILLION dollars to manage OUR TAXES!!! AND... we paid, as a country, about $2 TRILLION dollars in income taxes. Imagine all that money being spent WHERE WE WANT TO SPEND IT.

8) However, we do need sales taxes and property taxes to keep our country going. Those rates may go up, but it becomes fair. The more you own, the more taxes you pay. There would be no taxes on ANY food (even in restaurants) or non-alcoholic drinks, or on "regular" clothing (like jeans and shirts and boots and sneakers) that cost $75 or less each. Basic living items should not be taxed - but luxury items will be. Also, businesses would pay more for land taxes (but again, no income taxes) and additional road / train / transportation taxes to help offset costs to repair the roads and rails they use for transporting their goods.

9) After World War 2, the United States started a major project to create jobs by rebuilding roads , railways and bridges across the land. It created jobs for thousands, improved the road conditions, and gave American businesses a chance to stay in business. We need to do that again - without unions getting in the way of people working for a fair wage.

10) Reduce unemployment to no more than 4 months in a year. If you are disabled and cannot work, then you should be on disability insurance. But if you can work, you need to find ANOTHER job (like slinging pavement or using a wrench - see above). You may have to move to another state, but you don't need to be whining about things and sit on your ass for years on government handout. Where is your pride?

If we stay out of other people's business, and focus on making America strong again, we won't give the terrorists a reason to piss on us. But if they do, we'll just go over and bomb the shit out of them until their country is one big parking lot full of rubble. Maybe after we level the first country, the others will back off and keep their shit to themselves.

I don't think Osama's dead, why did the soldiers threw him in a river?? I think that because of those soldiers' patriotism, they should bring Osama's head back home, since he did such things to the USA and to the whole world...

I have my doubts, but, if it's real, congratulations to the States, now, let's kill some more terrorists...

Nah, incineration is too good for that towel-headed desert monkey(not racist against Muslims, jut insulting that rat bastard, WHO CRUSHED MY DREAM OF SEEING THE TWIN TOWERS IN PERSON). We Figure, let him swim with the fishes and let him rot.

Point 1: I agree because we have some 1-2 BILLION gallons of crude oil here in our own backyard. Yet we continue to drill under sand for oil. Also, why not make Solar Panels more readily available to the US masses? That would also help our oil addiction.

Point 4: Mmhm, also, how are the immigrants from Mexico supposed to get an application to become a legal citizen if we just keep pushing them back when they get to the border?

Point 5: Yea, or if you have extreme diminished mental capacity, then you can't own a gun. Not that I'm against people exercising their 2nd Amendment Rights, if you've diminished mental capacity, there's a good possibility you would hurt yourself or others.

Point 6: That's the damn truth, my family and I still under the nail for cash.

Point 7: I only have one thing to say to this

Point 8: Why should we have to pay taxes on the basic necessities of life? That's always seemed like pure bullshit to me. What exactly are those taxes paying for in the long run anyway? Certainly not the roads, education, or anything of the sort. Granted stores need to have some sort of upkeep for the place, but how about at least 85% of the tax money we pay on the basic necessities go towards crime labs in our nation? The other 15% can go towards store upkeep.

Point 10: Mmhm. However, some people might start resorting to crime just to get a free college education. That's the drawback. Our federal taxes would be paying their college tuition through the prison system. Who in the hell wants that? Certainly not I.

Edit:

Whoever else has cast their vote on the poll, don't just vote on the poll and not say anything. It's really annoying and rude. >_> There's 4 votes, we can only vote a total of one time. Only 3 people have posted in this thread, Byte, myself, and Rog. Please don't vote and not say anything. So someone voted and kept their mouth shut. SPEAK UP!

95% of teens would cry if the Jonas brothers were about to jump off of a 10 story building. I'm one of the 5% who would bring popcorn and invite friends.CLICK MAH SIG!!!!

Speaking on bytes points, here in Brazil we have the same thing, but, in worst conditions.

Do you believe the ammount of taxes we pay?? A gamer example (lol): Taking Black Ops as an example: the price of the game, that in Steam costs $60, here in Brazil, it costs fucking $120 (I converted it into Dollars.)

That's the half of the price you pay. I coud buy Black Ops and Crysis 2 for the price of Black ops here in Brazil... We pay more than 10 taxes only for a game that it's still considered "Gambling" here...

I won't even talk about the food and all the other basic stuff that should be cheap, it's a fucking robbery. People that doesn't have a good salary can't barely pay food for their family. That's awful, you can only see the reality behind all the good thing people say about Brazil living here.

Honestly, I'm wondering if they even killed him. They were a little too hasty to throw away the only "real proof" they had, IMO. Now before everyone starts with the hate, I'm all for believing that Osama is dead. It would be a monumentally risky re-election stunt if they weren't 100% sure he was in fact gone. I mean, can you imagine how hated everyone involved in announcing it would become if it turned out to be a lie? All Osama would have to do, if he were still alive now, is make another of those videos and drop it off at the nearest US embassy. Bye-bye re-election chances, Obama.

So yeah, I think it's safe to say he is indeed dead. When and how he died, on the other hand, is another matter.There is a chance that he actually died months if not years ago, and what they really found in August was indisptuable proof of his death. The 'deliberation' over what to do might've really been over whether to admit defeat with regards to finding him, or to claim responsibility for it, knowing the only man who could irrefutably disprove them was dead. They opted for the latter, after months of deliberation.

Now I know this is unlikely, just like all the other nutjob conspiracies you see on the internet are. However, Can you actually disprove this? No. The "hard evidence" is now lying at the bottom of some random ocean in a concrete block, its whereabouts unknown to all but a handful of military and political officials. And that's the bit I don't like about all of this. What if another country wanted to do their own DNA tests on the body to back-up those of the US? How will anyone ever be able to take an unbiased look at the "evidence" we've been given and say it's true now?

DNA testing is scientific proof of identity. For anything to be 'scientifically proven' the results must be reproducible. If no-one besides one party (with a pretty damn big vested interest in having said tests tell them what they want to hear) can actually reproduce them, then it's not scientific proof. ALL interested parties must be able to 'prove' it using their own tests for it to be accepted as scientific proof, and with the only known source of DNA now long gone, the only "proof" they have has been left wide open to criticisms and scrutiny. If a lookalike came along and impersonated Osama in a video now, there'd be precious little anyone could do to conclusively prove it was a fake.
